Re: Steven/Deanna Adler - Memoirs Of Addiction.
Just found this now after wondering whatever happened to Deanna Adlers book "No Bed Of Roses"...
Mother and Child Reunion
In a unique deal inspired by the father-son addiction memoirs separately written (and published) by David Sheff (Beautiful Boy) and his son Nic (Tweak), Adam Chromy of Artists and Artisans closed a two-book deal with HarperCollins's It Books imprint for a mother-son perspective on addiction, selling a pair of memoirs by Steven Adler and his mother, Deanna Adler. Adler, the former drummer for Guns N' Roses who has made headlines more recently for his often jarringly unsuccessful attempts to fight his longtime heroin habit on the VH-1 reality show Celebrity Rehab, has signed to write My Appetite for Destruction for Mauro DiPreta. DiPreta acquired world rights to that title along with Sweet Child of Mine, which will be written by Deanna Adler. The books are slated to drop at the same time, in 2010, and will be coauthored by Lawrence J. Spagnola.

The Adler book has the potential to be great if it doesn't revolve around ranting against ex band mates. The way he went from being on top of the world to a complete downward spiral so quickly was always a story worth being told.
Would love to see an uncensored look at that 86-90 time frame from his perspective.

Agreed. Hopefully that'll be the case.
I have my doubts, though. In the end it's Steven Adler.
Re: Steven/Deanna Adler - Memoirs Of Addiction.
I think it's just sad, that the guy has only one card left to play... admitting how much of his life has been a fuckin' disaster.
I wish the guy could just go out there, get a steady job drumming, and rock, and put alot of this behind him.
